preached three times on Sunday,
l3th inst. at Harris Museum on the
"Coming Of Christ and the Begin
ming OF the Millennium Large
audiences were present. Mr.. Baxter
has been speaking on the same
subject throughout the county,
He is about sixty years old, rather
tall and has bushy dark hair and
beard. Many of his hearers, par
ticularly women, went away look
ing serious or frightened.
His text was Daniels vision of
the four beasts, ono of which, he
said. represented the Babylonian
empire, one the Medo.Persian en-.
pre-, one the Grecian empire, and
the other the Roman empire. lie
predicted the formation, by great
wars and revolutions, Of all the
countries of CRsar's original RO-
man empire into an allied cOnieder-
acv of the kingdoms ruled by ten
sovereigns, as represented by the
ten horns of the wild beast in the
seventh chapter and twenty-fourth
verse of Daniel, and the snbse-
quent rise among the ten sovereigns
of an eleventh sovereign, who VIII
be the little horn as represented in
the breast, and who will first APP
pear in Syria. The allied kingdoms
will be Britain, France, Spain,
italy, Austria, Greece, Egypt,
Syria, Turkey and Bulgaria. In
the meantime Germany will have
been conquered 0y France and Will
be a part of that kingdom, which
will then he ruled by a king. In
conqucriug Germany, France VIII
either be aided bv Russia or 10y a
soclalistic revolution in Germany.
She will be led by Boulanger, who
is a man of destiny. When the
ten kingdoms are formed, the SOW
ereign represented by the little
horn will gradually increase his
power until he becomes king of the
ten allied nations, and finally the
imperial anii.Christ. lie will be a
representative of the Napoleon
dynasty, the greatest warrior that
ever lived, the craftiest statesman,
and the most successful leader OF
men. America will be subject to
his dominion. He will not con
Guer this country by bringing vast
armies here, but will succeed by
means Of his fascinating genius,
which will win him countless adj
hcrents. such as socialists, nlhllIsts,
spiritualists and Romanists, VINO
will eventually get control OF the
country.
Mr.. Baxter prophesied that all
these things will come 10 pass
during the next thirteen years,
after which will come the millennium
Of a thousand years. The great
wars and revolutions and earth
quakes wi begin in a year or two'
and will be the most horrible, the
most dey astating the world has
known. By 1890 the ten Kingdoms
will have been allied. AS all coun-
tries onts ide C.rsar's original Ro-
man EN- pire will be separated, at
least le sislatively, from the ten
kinpdom,s inside the Roman empire,
Ireland and India and the colonies
will be separated from England
lcgislatively, if not entirely. Tho
eleventh. king will first attract at
tcntlou nv 4 seven years covenant
with the Jews, and in about two
and 4 half years thereafter he vii
advance from being merely King
Of Syria to be head Of France, and
/ then be the supreme sovereign o
the world. He will be the anti
Christ during the last three and
half years.
with regard to his reasons fol
fixing the time for the great crisis
he SAID that whatever differences
of opinion have existed among cX
positors as to the mere details o
prophetic interpretations, more
than a hundred Of them have iore
shown in their books that it vii
probably take place between now
and 1900. Having arrived at tll'
threshold OF this crisis, we behOl
their prophetic auticipations signal
| " verified and confirmed by the
startling signs of the times
political, social and religiQus-clus
tering around this period.
In view of these predictions, Mr.
Baxter told his hearers that they
will be living in a FOOLS paradise
they do not prepare for approach
ing events, by saving their soul
by 80 living that they MAJ b'
among the elect. That done, al
they will have to do will he to wal
TO see if what he says VIII no
come true.
